1977 Ford Bronco Ranger Restoration

Location: Tampa, FL

Why It’s Curated: If you are in the market for a restored Bronco, but not so restored that it doesn’t retain originality, then this 1977 Ford Bronco Ranger for sale is one that you should seriously look into. The colorway is such that you won’t see another with the Jade Glow with Wimbledon White top, and Jade green interior being quite rare (244 produced in 1977). The 302 V8 engine has been rebuilt in the last 1k miles, with Edelbrock 4 barrel carbs and inlet manifold, and so much more. Check out the long list below of the work done by Strange Klassics, EMI Automotive, and Fortes Classic Garage below.
